Your request for documents pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) has been received; however, due to the fact that you are based out-of-state, we will be unable to respond to your request. The FOIA provides that all public records shall be open to inspection and copying by any citizen of the State of Arkansas. See, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 (a)(1)(A) (West Supp. 2009). Since you are not a citizen of the state, the FOIA is not applicable to your request.
